To get straight to the point, I've eaten at maybe a dozen different Indian restaurants around Phoenix (usually take-out for dinner), and I've found this to be my overall favorite. It's hard to explain exactly why, but I simply prefer the flavors/spices here better than the other places. The only thing I don't like is that it is a bit on the pricey side (for dinner) and the portions are somewhat smaller than many of the other restaurants. Nevertheless, I usually end up making the trek out here from downtown whenever we're in the mood for Indian food.
